At 6-foot-2 and 280 pounds, Easley is small by the standards of NFL defensive tackles, but he’s been a very productive player and was beginning his third season as a starter. Unfortunately, Easley has now suffered torn ACLs in both of his knees, and that will be a major red flag for NFL teams. At least the next time he puts his health on the line, he’ll be getting paid for it.

Michael Mauti was a linebacker out of Penn State who was projected to be a first- or second-round pick until he tore his second ACL during his last season. The Vikings drafted him in the seventh round. Guys rehabbing ACLs don’t generally get picked very high.
